Chris would like to share your responses in this year’s Recorder Summer Valley Guide.

She’d also like to hear from owners of creamees around the county. She’d like you to tell her about an unusual flavor you are planning to offer this year.

I guess I would be considered a little boring in this category — I’m a huge lover of chocolate ice cream. Sometimes, I like it with almonds or fruit, but it’s chocolate all the way, and never with candy added.

Please contact Chris as soon as possible at 413-772-0261, ext. 265 or charris@recorder.com.
